Welcome to McCormick County South Carolina.

Our goal for this website is to give you some insight into the county. It will give you information on everything from local political positions to schools, taxes, places to eat and stay, and then all the opportunities which exist here for recreational pleasure, relaxing, browsing through history, or simply reliving life at a simpler pace. The Website introduces you to the new county logo and brand statement. You will soon see why we are referred to as “The Natural Pace of Life”.

What is the Chamber of Commerce?

The McCormick County Chamber of Commerce is a non-profit 501(c)(6) organization. We work to unite business and professional leaders and firms, thus creating an advocacy agency for improving business and building a better community. Our Chamber members are individuals who come together to improve the community.

People Are the Chamber of Commerce

Chamber of Commerce members share a desire to improve the community in the following ways:

  • Improve the conditions under which business is conducted
  • Unite to accomplish collectively what no one could do individually
  • Direct the energies of those who believe that a community worth living in is a community worth improving.

A great Chamber of Commerce creates an environment where businesses can prosper.

The Chamber was Originally formed in 1988 to protect commerce in transit, in our community marketplace, and to promote the sale of goods. Today, a successful Chamber of commerce recognizes all the factors which affect the community and adjusts it programs accordingly. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the economic, civic, and cultural wellbeing of McCormick County.
